![]() ![]() The only reason that Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life ended the Jolie run of films was that its star simply didn’t want to continue, so if Tomb Raider 2 takes off in as lucrative a way as Jolie’s follow-up, a third movie isn’t out of the question - especially if the film can maintain and heighten the first film’s gritty action and Indiana Jones vibes. This might mean that the story could progress along with that of the other Crystal Dynamics games, which have released Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider in recent years. No word yet on the plot elements of the sequel, though the first film served to mirror the newly rebooted video game origin for the ‘90s video game hero. With Vikander slinging far fewer guns and performing far more feats of athleticism in her darker version of the character that Jolie first brought to the big screen, perhaps Lara Croft will vibe well with the filmmaking pair. ![]() ![]() Wheatley has worked with Jump for a long time, as she’s co-written and edited most of his filmography (including Free Fire), so the Tomb Raider follow-up will have the professional benefits of that deep creative relationship.

In the interview, she says that it was important for Crystal Dynamics to move in this direction but at the same time, the studio worked on both major and minor changes to provide all fans something to look forward to in the next Tomb Raider game while retaining the original concept.Alicia Vikander’s debut as Lara Croft in 2018’s Tomb Raider heralded one of the better-received video game adaptations as of late, and now it looks like she’ll be following in Angelina Jolie’s treasure-hunting footsteps toward a sequel. Marie says that Lara Croft is canon and while fans have aged since her debut, she has too. What this means is that there’s a high chance the Lara Croft that will star in the next Tomb Raider game is going to be an adult and her personality and appearance may shift closer to the original character we met all those years ago.
